I agree with Dr. Vashista's opinion. The other state Labor officer cannot initiate any legal action against the other state person for the event that happened in other state that his own, labor laws and rules differs from one state to another.

Dear friend,

The daily wagers should be paid minimum wages as prescribed by the State Government. The payment of wages may be daily , weekly or as per mutual agreement with daily workers and their contractors monthly. But being a principal contractor , you are responsible for payment to the daily wagers. you have to see whether they are getting wages properly.

In case of non payment of wages they can file complain against your company and the concerned authority will bound to take firm action against your firm or company. But they have to file their complaint in same state not in other.
